Constipation, DuBetic since December 12

Constipation along with Diabetes Mellitus is common due to slow bowel movement and dehydration, so you should increase fiber intake (fruits, vegetables, whole grains), drink plenty of water, stay physically active, and maintain good blood sugar control; if needed, a doctor may suggest mild laxatives like Lactulose or Isabgol, but avoid long-term self-use and consult a doctor if constipation persists or worsens.

I'm constipated all the time.Every now and then, I take Dulcolax for relief. Could this be because I'm nursing? I drink eight glasses of water every day.

Yes, constipation can be more common during breastfeeding because your body uses more fluids for milk production, which can make stools harder even if you drink water. Frequent use of Dulcolax is not ideal long term; instead, increase fiber (fruits, vegetables, whole grains), fluids, and physical activity. You can safely use gentler options like Isabgol or Lactulose regularly if needed. If constipation persists or becomes severe, consult a doctor for proper guidance.

I am having difficulty with bowel movements and find it hard to pass stool. What should I do about it?

Your condition may indicate constipation, which often occurs due to a low-fiber diet, inadequate water intake, or lack of physical activity. You should increase your intake of dietary fibre (fruits, vegetables, and whole grains), drink plenty of water, and engage in regular physical activity. If the problem persists or is accompanied by abdominal pain, bleeding, or unexplained weight loss, consult a doctor or gastroenterologist to identify the underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment.

Gas is a constant problem for me.I see a lot of doctors, but they don't help. I also have an issue with Kabji.

Constant gas with constipation (kabji) is often due to a chronic digestive issue like Irritable bowel syndrome or poor gut habits. Focus on a high-fiber diet (fruits, vegetables, whole grains), plenty of water, regular exercise, and fixed toilet timing; avoid excess tea, spicy, oily, and gas-forming foods. For relief, you can use a fiber supplement like Isabgol and an anti-gas medicine like Simethicone. Since it is long-standing, consult a gastroenterologist for proper evaluation and a structured treatment plan.

Is it okay to take Dulcoflex tablets in the ninth month? My gynaecologist advised me to take a Dulcolax tablet. Tell me what I do, please.

In the ninth month of pregnancy, constipation is common, and if your gynecologist has advised it, taking Dulcolax occasionally is generally considered safe. Do not self-medicate beyond the prescribed dose or frequency; also focus on natural measures like fiber-rich diet, plenty of fluids, and light activity. For regular use, gentler options like Isabgol are often preferred. If you have severe abdominal pain or no relief, follow up with your doctor.
